Homeowners of the World, unless you’re opening a miniature golf course, please don’t use artificial grass in your yard. Even if all your neighbors seem to be doing it. Plastic grass hurts the environment in several ways. And it looks ridiculous, and will look even worse after a year or two. Better you should just let your yard go to seed. Dirt and weeds are a thousand times better, environmentally, than artificial grass. Ask any bug. Or dog.
